Defi The Elements | Running Vest Phone Holder | Unisex | One Size | Plus-Sized Mobile Phone Holder Chest Pocket | For Women and Men | Highly Adjustable Waist Belt | 3 Zipped Pockets

Fits well

I recently tried out the Defi The Elements Premium Running Vest, and while it has some commendable features, there are aspects that left me less than satisfied.Firstly, the vest's design is undoubtedly stylish, and the premium materials used are evident. However, my primary concern was the functionality of the pockets. The main pocket on the chest, intended for a phone, proved to be too snug for comfort. While it did fit my phone, the tight fit made it challenging to access my device on the go, hindering the convenience that is crucial during a run.Additionally, the small shoulder pockets, though aesthetically pleasing, are not practical for holding anything substantial. Trying to fit keys into these pockets proved to be a struggle, and the waterproof zips, while appreciated, added to the difficulty of accessing items quickly.However putting on and taking off the vest is a breeze, thanks to the thick and strong elastic material. Once adjusted to size, the sliders stay in place, providing a snug fit without any bouncing or movement that could lead to chafing during runs.

Have considered one of these vests for a while now but always worried about how it would feel. Answer is, great. Doesn't move around, fits a larger frame nicely.Well constructed, feels nice and strong.Phone pouch can fit a Samsung s24 Ultra in it but is a bit snug in and out due to the zip. As per pics I removed the zip and the phone goes and out a lot easier now, while the velcro flap holds it in securely. Very strong velcro.Would definitely recommend.

What an great running vest. In the past I bought cheaper models which were not secure and as a result wobbled when I ran.This vest is great quality, fits perfectly and is great value for money.This model is great for hiking, running, and every day use.Very happy with it.

Quite good first impressions it's quite stylish really impressed with the front pocket waterproof zip with a flap takes my large phone it doesn't move that much niceI like the shoulder zips allows you to put something small in like a key again very pleasedUnfortunately that's where the good news stops when you open it out the packet that was a really bad odour which takes a while for it to dissipate and then the adjustment straps at the side get tangled a bit which takes time to sort out but once it has been sorted it's a simple pull over vest and quite pleased I use it not just for running but I use it for gym work allows me to nip into gym without having to change keeping all my personal possessions like the keys and phone on me without any bags very pleased

With many of these Running Pouches, they claim that they are waterproof but this one definitely is - I can say this because I was caught out in a downpour and thanks to the waterproof zips, my phone was in its pouch and it came out COMPLETELY dry.The construction is really well-made and the fact that the material (straps) is breathable too makes a huge difference to how this sits on me in terms of comfort (which is really good when running with no chafing!)

Défi The Elements Premium Running Vest.This vest is primarily designed as a Phone Holder.There are 3 pockets in total 1 main pocket on the chest and 1 on each shoulder the one's on each shoulder are super small I'm not really sure what you would fit inside them as for the one on the chest it would just about fit a phone but it's tight.The vest itself is actually very well made some high quality materials are used here I'm a XXL male and this just about fits in a comfortable way which is a good thing but I wouldn't recommend for any one larger.The main pocket is water resistant meaning it will keep your phone dry but getting your phone out of the pocket especially when you're on the move may prove a little more difficult.It all feels a little too small a little too compact maybe it would suit a super lightweight runner but then why would you carry your brick of a phone with you?

Was a bit worried my phone wouldn't fit as it is on the large size. No worries though it slips right in.The phone pocket has a locking zip and velcro cover, stopping any water from getting in. The zips are branded ykk zippers super smooth locking, just top quality zip. Bad zips frustrate me no end! Pocket is also fully waterproof, from what i can tell, it is lined with plastic inside so no sweat can get into it from under either, keeping your phone or anything else in the pocket dry safe and secure.My next worry, also unneeded, was fitting an inhaler into the top pockets. As you can see from the photo it does fit, a bit tight, but it fits. With the position of the pockets, at least on me, there is no digging in as they sit on the front of the shoulder more towards the chest, not against the collar bone.Easy to get on and off. Has really thick strong elastic. once adjusted to size the sliders stay put and keep the vest tight to your body. There is no bouncing around or movement that could cause chafing.Another great plus is the zips on the shoulder pocket are the type that lock firmly when the zipper pull is down, i have absolute confidence my key isn't going to fall out, and neither is the medication in the other.While the vest is not cheap, it feels worth the £30 price, the materials all feel premium, it is well made, stays in place the zip pockets are stretchy and secure with quality branded zips.
